About

Pedro Mena is an Associate Professor in Human Nutrition at Università degli Studi di Parma, Italy. His research focuses on bioactive compounds, their antimicrobial activities, and the impact of dietary interventions on gut health, particularly in inflammatory bowel disease. Recent publications include studies on the fermentation of dietary polyphenols, the pharmacological effects of various natural compounds, and their implications for human nutrition.
